Can you hook us up with some infos about the album my man?
THE ALBUM IS STRAIGHT UP OFF THE HOOK HOMIE. I'M HOPING YOU'RE GONNA TRANSLATE THIS FOR THE BROTHAS ON HERE THAT DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
THERE ARE THREE REASONS WHY THIS ALBUM CAME OUT THE WAY IT DID.
1) KOKANE AND I HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY. THIS ALBUM IS NOT JUST 2 NIGGAZ HOOKIN UP TO DO MAKE SOME MONEY. WE GET IN THE STUDIO AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. OUR WOMEN ARE LIKE SISTERS, AND WE'RE LIKE BROTHERS. WE SPEAK ALMOST EVERYDAY JUST TO TALK ABOUT LIFE AND OUR FAMILIES. ALL IM SAYIN IS THAT THE LEVEL OF COMFORT AND TOGETHERNESS THAT WE HAVE SHOWS IN THE MUSIC. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN??
2) FOR THE TWO MONTHS THAT WE WERE RECORDING FOR THIS ALBUM, KOKANE WOULD COME DOWN TO MY HOUSE NO EARLIER THAN 11PM. WE WOULD RECORD ALL THRU THE NIGHT, AND STOP WHEN THE SUN CAME UP. AND WE DID IT LIKE THAT THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUM!! IT ADDED A CERTAIN ELEMENT TO THE MUSIC. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW IT WAS ALL DONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN THEY'RE LISTENING TO IT. I THINK THATS PRETTY COOL THAT WE DID IT LIKE THAT. THE ONLY SONG WE DID IN DAYLIGHT WAS "LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND". WE GOT HIGH ONE NIGHT AND WENT TO HANG OUT WITH KEAK DA SNEAK. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO MY HOUSE AT ABOUT 6 IN THE MORNING, WE STARTED WORKING ON THAT SONG. BY THE WAY, "LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND" IS ONE OF ONLY TWO SONGS ON THE ALBUM THAT ARE PRODUCED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN FASTLANE (THATS THE "LANE" IN RAINE N LANE N KOKANE). THAT SONG WAS PRODUCED BY AUDITORY, WHO ALSO PRODUCES A LOT OF STUFF FOR BUSHIDO. DJ FINGAZ DID THE BEAT FOR "LO PRO". THE REST ARE ALL FASTLANE BEATS.
3) WE REALLY COVERED A LOT OF TOPICS WITH OUR SONGS. WE GOT SONGS ABOUT MISERY, DRUGS, GOD, PIMPIN, DRINKIN, THE HOOD, AND THEN JUST SOME FUNKY SHIT TO BUMP. BASICALLY EVERYTHING WE WOULD HAVE WANTED IN A WESTCOAST ALBUM. AND ITS ONLY 13 TRACKS!! LIKE THE OLD DAYS USED TO BE. THESE DAYS, NIGGAZ TRY TO SELL YOU 20 TRACKS OF BULLSHIT WITH ONE OR TWO GOOD SONGS. BACK IN THE DAYS, ALBUMS WERE LIKE 11-14 TRACKS AND EVERY ONE OF EM WAS TIGHT. I THINK THATS WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THIS PROJECT.
Like the front-cover, tracklist, features, label, release date?
I DONT HAVE THE COVER ON THIS COMPUTER THAT IM ON, BUT I'LL GET BACK ON HERE AND POST IT.
THE TRACK LIST IS:
1) THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END (RAINE/KOKANE)
2) I GOTCHA (RAINE/KOKANE)
3) I LUV (RAINE/KOKANE/CHUCC DEEZ/FA SHOW)
4) HAVE TO GO (RAINE/KOKANE/JAY CASH)
5) THIZZLE (RAINE/KOKANE)
6) RUNNIN AWAY (RAINE/KOKANE)
7) LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND (RAINE/KOKANE)
8) LO PRO (RAINE/KOKANE)
9) MISERY (RAINE/KOKANE)
10) OOH AHH (RAINE/KOKANE)
11) R.I.P. (RAINE/KOKANE)
12) B-BOYZ (RAINE/KOKANE/G-RILLA)
13) OUTRO (RAINE/KOKANE)
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, KOKANE IS ON EVERY SONG. HE DOES EVERY HOOK (WE WROTE THEM TOGETHER BUT HE SANG THEM). HE ALSO RAPS ON 5 OF THE SONGS. I KNOW MOST OF YALL AINT FAMILIAR WITH MY RAPS, BUT I'M CONFIDENT IN MY PERFORMANCE. I HOPE YALL ENJOY LISTENING TO IT AS MUCH AS I DO.
AS FAR AS A LABEL, IT'S ON MY LABEL CALLED.....
"THE LABEL"
HAHA.. FOR REAL
RELEASE DATE IS SCHEDULED FOR THE LAST WEEK OF JUNE ON THE 24TH. I'M SPEAKING TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTORS ABOUT PUTTING THE RECORD OUT, SO IF WE DECIDE TO DO BUSINESS IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO HIT SOME STORES, BUT IT WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE IN SO CAL AND I'LL MAKE SURE I GET YOUR COPIES TO YOU PUDDAH CUZ I KNOW YOU BEEN WAITIN!!!
Will you shoot a video for the album?
I HAVE SOME GREAT IDEAS FOR VIDEOS TO A FEW SONGS. WE'LL HAVE TO JUST WAIT AND SEE IF THERE IS TIME TO DO THAT. KOKANE IS OUT IN SEATTLE RIGHT NOW WORKIN ON HIS NEXT PROJECT SO I ONLY SEE HIM EVERY COUPLE MONTHS WHEN HE MAKES IT DOWN TO CALI. IM WORKING ON MY SOLO SHIT TOO. WE'RE BOTH REAL BUSY. BUT IF THIS ALBUM DOES REAL WELL AND THERE IS NEED FOR A VIDEO I GOT SOME DOPE IDEAS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE COME TO LIFE.
By the way...did you hear any of the new upcoming solo stuff from Kokane?
Seems like he's hella hyped up about his new album and his funk-band of 12 people.
I'VE HEARD ALL OF HIS NEW MUSIC AND IT'S OFF THE FREAKIN HOOK HOMIE. HE'S GONNA REALLY MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE STOP WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND TUNE IN WHEN HE RELEASES HIS NEXT PROJECT. THE MUSIC IS TOP OF THE LINE AND HIS MESSAGE IS COMING FROM THE HEART. IM PROUD OF HIM FOR WHO HE HAS BECOME AND I APPRECIATE THE SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE HE GAVE TO ME WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST. HE CALLED ME EVERYDAY AND PRAYED WITH ME AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT. I WANT TO SEE THAT BROTHA DO WELL, BECAUSE HE REALLY DESERVES IT. I HATE TO SEE A LEGEND LIKE HIMSELF BE SO FUCKIN UNDERRATED AND UNDER APPRECIATED. I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO DO IT BIG WITH THIS ALBUM FOR THE FANS, MY FAMILY, KOKANE, AND FOR THE WESTCOAST. I APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT FROM THE BROTHAS OUT IN GERMANY. WE'RE ALL GODS CHILDREN AND I LOVE YOU. YA DIGG?!?!

Album is da shiaaaaaat
...except of the Hyphy-Like Track at the End
Love the Album, especially Have to Go, Runnin Away and Misery. Actually theres no Skipping Track on it at all. Usually I'm not very fond of Rap Music after 2k but this one is worth the cash...
